BUTTERMILK FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH
for the coleslaw:
- ½ cup Japanese mayonnaise
- 1 garlic clove, finely grated
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- ¼ white cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 head radicchio, leaves separated and finely shredded
- 1 bulb fennel, trimmed and finely sliced
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper
- ½ cup finely sliced pickles, quarter cup pickle juice
And the rest:
- Four white brioche buns or burger buns or whatever bread you like
- 2 chicken breasts (skinless), halved lengthways
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- good pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- good pinch of sea salt
- 1 cup of buttermilk
- oil for frying
For the Coleslaw:
- In a small mixing bowl bring together the mayonnaise, garlic, pickle juice and hot sauce and stir to combine.
- In a larger mixing bowl toss together the coleslaw vegetables as well as the pickles . Spoon in the mayonnaise and mix thoroughly.
For the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich assembly:
- Gently heat the oil in a deep pot to 175C.
- Bring together the flour and a good pinch of salt and pepper together in a mixing bowl. Add the buttermilk into a separate bowl.
- Working with one piece of chicken at a time, dredge the chicken in the flour and then shake off any excess.
- Dip into the buttermilk allowing excess to drip back into the bowl and then dredge again in the flour shaking off any excess. Repeat for the remaining chicken.
- Gently lower the chicken into the pre-heated oil and fry until golden in colour and cooked through, about three minutes.
- Warm the buns slightly.
- To assemble spread the spicy mayonnaise over the warmed bread. Place the chicken on the bottom on each roll topping with the spice coleslaw.
